Overview

Shakespeare grew up surrounded by the Forest of Arden.

New Yorkers have Central Park, an 843-acre urban oasis. Shakespeare in the Park has become as New Yorkian as a bagel with cream cheese.

In this game you will hike easily up to the two highest natural points in Central Park and experience Shakespeare’s storytelling in a whole new light.

Have a nap, cross-dress, buy a house, escape a lion’s clutches and even marry. This exploration game has it all. Ready? When you’re ready, enter stage left!

Highlights include:
• Explore Mariner's Gate, Summit Rock, Heart of Seneca Village (The Wilson House) and lesser-known places.
• Enjoy a uniquely crafted story brought to you by our top-notch/gifted/talented writers.

After your booking, you will receive an email with instructions on how to download and play the game on your phone. We recommend that each user purchases a ticket for an optimal experience, although several people can share a phone.
